Scott Wimmer Event Preview
No. 23 2 Fast 2 Furious/Stacker 2 Chevrolet Monte Carlo
Dover International Speedway - May 31, 2003

Wimmer on Dover International Speedway: Scott Wimmer returns to the site where he scored his first NASCAR Busch Series win, last fall at Dover International Speedway.

"Winning my first Busch race last fall was just amazing," said Wimmer. "I have always run well at Dover, even in my very first Busch start, so it wasn't all that surprising that it was the track where I scored my first win. There is something about Dover that allowed me to adapt to it quickly and was successful right out of the box. It probably helps that it is a concrete track where I also tend to run well."

"Dover is a fast race track where things tend to happen very quickly," said Wimmer. "Staying out of trouble is important there, because it is easy to get caught up in someone else's mess. The fastest way around the track is the bottom groove, but usually after Winston Cup practice, the groove moves around a lot, so the track becomes more forgiving in the sense that you can run different lines around the it whether it is the high or low groove."

Special Paint Scheme: Wimmer will sport a new paint scheme this weekend at Dover with the new summer blockbuster movie, 2 Fast 2 Furious, as the primary sponsor along with Stacker 2 on Wimmer's Chevrolet.

No Double Duty: Wimmer will not be competing in the Winston Cup event this weekend at Dover as previously announced. "We weren't pleased with our results from the test, so we decided not to attempt to run this race," said owner, Bill Davis. "We weren't obligated to run this race, so we elected not to do so. We are still planning on running Scott in some Cup races this year, but we haven't determined which ones they'll be yet."

Equipment: The Stacker 2/Stamina RX Racing team is taking a brand new car to Dover.

Appearance: Wimmer, along with BDR teammate, Kenny Wallace, will play in the Autism Society of Delaware's second annual Drive for Autism Research celebrity golf tournament. This celebrity-am event will be held on Thursday, May 29th, 2003 at Deerfield Golf and Tennis Club in Newark, Delaware. Last year's tournament raised $100,000 in funds for research and programs for children and adults with autism in Delaware and across the nation. The tournament will also feature a live auction of sports memorabilia.
